Mission Statement

“The mission of San Jose City College is to prepare and empower students for success in a global multicultural society. With the fostering of student learning as its primary focus, the College provides continuous access to a wide range of comprehensive and flexible post secondary academic and occupational programs that prepare Silicon Valley residents of all ages and backgrounds for balanced and productive lives and successful careers. To reach these educational goals, the college provides the appropriate support services to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse student population.

In fulfilling this mission, the College assists students in achieving their education, employment, and life long learning goals. These include but are not limited to: . Two year college degrees. Lower-division transfer and general education courses. Certificates. Basic skills instruction. English as a Second Language courses. Distance learning opportunities. Technology and career training. Economic development. Community services courses

The diversity at San Jose State is nothing short of overwhelming in the best way possible. Students from all backgrounds, economic, social, religious, sexual orientation, race, and nationality form the student population. This diversity not only exists among students, but is recognized and celebrated by clubs, staff, and the associated student union. There are hundreds of clubs ranging from interests in sports, politics, race, gender, human rights, and activities. Living on campus is a wonderful and priceless experience at San Jose State. Community building activities are held frequently and are at no cost to students. And form a student who has lived on campus, they're fun. The dinning commons is a buffet style, which catalyzes the freshmen fifteen scare, but the free gym membership is a wonderful compliment. Altogether, students looking for an equal balance of diversity and fun should seriously look in to attending SJSU.
